Oiseaux bleus
Information, images and range maps on over 1,000 birds of North America, including sub-species, vagrants, introduced birds and possibilities
Blue birds: the colour blue is found in many different species of birds. Some of the most attractive birds seen in North America fall into this category, such as bluebirds and the bunting families.
The male Eastern Bluebird, the Indigo or Lazuli Buntings are examples of beautiful looking blue birds.
Below is a list to help identify unknown birds. Identifying the place of habitat is always the first step to take when trying to find the name of certain individual birds. All the birds listed below have their own specific habitat. Some prefer forests, others fields, while still others prefer to be around water.
References to Other Bird Sites:
Avibase - the world bird database This site provides the user with a complete list of bird species, broken down per country, or in the example of the US or Canada, per state and province. Here, bird species names are available in other languages, a great asset to be used as a translation of foreign bird names.
ABA - American Birding Association This site represents an organization that maintains official records of all birds species that have been proven to have been seen inside the perimeters of the North American Continent and the surrounding bodies of water. Regular revised versions are posted to keep the bird list current at all times. This is the list used by all serious birders over their lifetime. You may be aware of the movie called the "Big Year". It was with this list that all the competing birders used in an attempt to set a new record as to how many bird species that could be seen by an individual birder in one calendar year.
I hope you will take advantage of these suggested websites. I have used each of them, in one way or another, throughout the years in my quest to better identify and understand our fine feathered friends.
